got news that a fellow AJ-cian the same batch as me has passed away ysd due to lung cancer. the news came as a shock to me, cos although i dun know him in person, i've seen him around in school. and to pass away at the same age as me kind of frightened me. suddenly, it seems as if death is such a vunerable word, creeping around and ready to attack at people unknowingly, never leaving any traces of rational explanation wadsoever. its also this incident that i realised, sometimes that life just hits us too unexpectedly at times, so much so that it seems just too unjust, just too inappropriate. yet it is also when these kind of tragedies happen, do people realise the fragility of life, and the importance of the people around us. when would people realise the importance of the presence of their loved ones, until something happen? many a times, many people has become too used with the people around them that they unknowingly accepted that and take things for granted. and i dun deny, at times, i find myself falling into this catergory too. its not on purpose, its just that it has been too infused into our lives so much so that it has become habitual, or it has been because we are all caught up with the mad rush that we tend to neglect the important, only realising when its too late. i guess we all need some reminders at times to keep us in check. its just too saddening that the reminders we are given have to be harsh facts that have to be thrown right at our faces. at the end of the day, is one's bickering, quarreling, complaining, rivalry, the jealousy, etc all worth it?
